The idea would be configuring syslogd to not to listen on UDP
and send messages to it, while syslog-ng listens on UDP socket and
does not read from /dev/log.

  You can add a line "LOG_FROM_REMOTE=NO" to /etc/default/syslogd
(but it should not be necessary, as Solaris syslogd does not listen
on UDP port by default) and add a line to /etc/syslog.conf alike to

whatever.whatever,*.somethingelse       @localhost

  Then create (and use) an UDP source in syslog-ng.conf and NOT
a source of type sun-streams.

Subject: [syslog-ng]syslog-ng on Sol8 - newbie questions


I'm running Solaris 8. I would like to setup syslog-ng and syslogd to operate
together.  Reading the faq, it says: 

Q: I'm new to syslog-ng. Is there a way for syslog-ng and syslogd to co-
exist?...
A: Yes, syslog-ng can accept messages from stock syslogd using the udp()
source.

Can anyone give me more specifics on how to setup the source for this setup? 
We've got syslogs forwarded from our network gear to this box so I want to
make sure syslog-ng can get those forwarded messages from syslogd.

Also, can anyone give a suggested filter setup for the following syslog.conf
entry:

local7.notice;*.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.none  /var/log/error.log

Thanks, Jim
